Micheleyd Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 We bought one of the Truly packs for our upcoming cruise in May. We got it cheap like $43.99 or something. It worked out to be like $7 a drink plus you get the cooler bag. We didn’t do the drink package as we are not big day drinkers so this plus 2 bottles of wine we take on should get us by. Maybe we will get another bottle one night. ScottD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeWhoWaits Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 Was in the cruise planner to purchase a couple bags. It allows you to select how many of a particular variant you want per selected passenger. The limit per passenger seems to be 13, so I could have ordered 39 bags with six bottles of water each for the three booked passengers. That's a total of 39 bags and 234 bottles of water. If you could do the same thing per passenger with Bud Light, Truly, Coke, and Diet Coke then someone could potentially order 65 bags per passenger. Wonder how that would work out.

Mando, I purchased 2 of the bags of bud lite today for my husband for our sailing on Wonder in May. I wonder if it is just certain ones that are sold out (beer, water, soda). They were on sale for $43.99. Thats cheaper than buying the beers alone on the ship plus there was no gratuity charge. I hope they don't cancel my order.

YellowBrickRoad Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 I just ordered the cooler with the water for 23.99 on my August Cruise. Thanks for info.

FionaMG Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 Thanks everyone for the info and pics. I was able to get the water one at $23.99 for my Anthem cruise to the fjords in July.

Rackham Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 Currently aboard Anthem and received the older style bags, 12 floz cans of Bud Light and the discount brand bottles of water (I think they're 12 floz, but not leaving my window seat in the Solarium to check.) Seems like right now it's a gamble with what you're going to get based on the port and ship. asquared17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel Mann Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Same thing happened to me on Independence last month. I order the bag with Diet Coke and when we got to our room there was only the Diet Coke sitting on the dresser. No note or anything. I had to go to Guest Services to ask about my bag and was eventually told they were out of stock and she would issue me a refund towards OBC. It really made me wonder if I hadn't gone to Guest Services I wouldn't have received any money back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two of us read the post by @amanalo217 differently. I hope your interpretation is the correct one, @Ampurp85. I read it the same way you do. $10.99 sounds to me more like a refund of monies paid than an apology payment. If it was me, I would be telling guest services to remove the water and refund me the full cost since I booked it for the bag and not the water.

Ampurp85 Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 @FionaMG and @HeWhoWaits I believe the cooler bags start at $34.99, so a $10.99 refund is a crapshoot......especially if that's what they estimate the bags cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ordered some with water at $29.99. If the bag is $10.99 that's $19.00 for six waters. At that price, they better be the one-liter bottles or the entire amount refunded. As @FionaMGsaid, we ordered for the bag, not the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amanalo217 Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 Update from Odyssey: They did not refund the cooler package. The $10.99 is refundable credit to make up for the cooler. Works for me because I got the package for $43.99 which was cheaper than the $7.49 x 6 and 18% gratuity on each can. FionaMG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ampurp85 Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 I guess I am shocked the bag itself was only $10.99. The other cooler bag they sell, granted it is much larger, retails for almost $50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amanalo217 Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 My guess is they didn't want to offer the full retail price for the cooler credit and this is how much RC pays for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 Hmmmm, I’m wondering whether I should cancel my purchases for my July cruise. I bought one cooler set w/water for each of our 5 rooms at a bargain price of $19.99 each. However, we all have drink or refreshment pkgs so really don’t need the water…I just wanted the bags for everyone! Should they still not have them in stock when we cruise…I wouldn’t want just the water since we can all grab some anytime we want! Maybe I’ll wait it out a bit and see if there are updates closer to our sail date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaa Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 I think I would keep the orders on the books @PPPJJ-GCVAB. Then if they deliver, you have what you need. If they don't, pop into guest services and tell them you don't want the half package and to refund your purchase and come get the water. I'm guessing they will do the refund and probably leave the water, but either way, you'll have free water with your beverage package.
